They pointed out there was no social distancing and the therapist was not wearing her protective mask correctly.

The segment saw a model having her ‘top-up’ microblading treatment, which saw a therapist cutting into the eyebrows with a small handheld blade, making them bleed.

Semi-permanent pigment was then painted on to the skin.

Viewers took to Twitter to complain about the live beauty treatment.

“#ThisMorning that’s horrific!” wrote one viewer, while another added: “@thismorning is terrible, Phillip and Holly are too close, beauty tips cutting a woman live on TV today!”

Someone else wrote: “Shocking doing eyebrows, physical contact! People really need a reality check #CoronavirusOutbreak #ThisMorning #StayAtHome #appalling @thismorning.”

Another ranted: “@thismorning absolute irresponsibility on show today. Microblading and no-one wearing masks even as a respect or precaution. Covering your chin doesn’t count. Close contact. Pathetic example.”

“Woman doing the microblading on #ThisMorning doesn’t even know how to wear a mask. Her nose wasn’t covered for half the procedure,” one viewer pointed out.
